Brigil: Petrie’s Landing I

Purchasing a condo in Ottawa, in theory, is a simple task. With a plethora of inventory leftover from 2016 and new towers always rising, it’s never been easier. Unless, of course, you’re looking for something unique. In that case, Brigil may have a solution for you.

Brigil is committed to buildings that take both people and sustainable development into account. The biggest example of this commitment is their latest project: Petrie’s Landing I. The proposed condominiums harness the natural beauty of their surroundings in order to provide residents with a unique balance of rural and urban living. Their second tower is now under construction.

The Quebec builder secured a gem of a development site. Located just 15 minutes from downtown, the waterfront condominiums offer panoramic views of the Ottawa River, Gatineau Hills and surrounding green spaces. It’s just steps from Petrie Island, a peaceful wetland that features a network of trails and a beach.

The Urban Lounge, on the top floor, features a breathtaking view of the Ottawa Valley and Gatineau Hills. It also has a swimming pool, a spa, an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and more.Brigil/-

Brigil is also providing a sense of community. In addition to the natural escapes, Petrie’s Landing I will feature more than 9,000 square feet of communal amenity space. The second tower will feature interior parking, storage lockers and a secured entrance, of course, but the real beauty will lie on the top floor: the Urban Lounge.
